Book Description
We often find it hard to believe that we have a unique voice. Advent begins with a voice crying in the wilderness. Every voice matters – especially voices in the wilderness that are stifled and silenced by alienation and apathy. This book dares you to take the time to listen to Advent voices in the wilderness that persist with calls to be heard and respected. December is a month when we fill the winter days and nights with a new busyness. This book is a chance to pause, catch our breath. This book is a fingertip on the pulse to appreciate our every breath and heartbeat as a gift. It is a chance for the reader to connect with God’s word during Advent – cradling a word, a phrase or an image that whispers hope into some parched place in our lives – a place of dry bones (Ezekiel 37:1-14). This is where God’s patient dialogue waits for our response. The author celebrates God’s love enfolding all that we hide – just as Adam and Eve hid their own natural beauty (Genesis 3:7) – unaware of God’s ‘hide and seek’ presence. Here is a God, eager to guide them and us from shadowy darkness into a perpetual light of eternal love. Advent gives us the space to create new contexts that transform predictability into possibility, despite our inadequacies and the freight of failures that we carry. Advent is a time to develop skills as disciples, so as not to miss God. Advent is about being disciples. The gospels show us how the disciples stumbled, fumbled and slowly and gradually learned to change, follow and witness.

Book Description
What is a person? This fundamental question is a perennial concern of philosophers and theologians. But, Christian Smith here argues, it also lies at the center of the social scientist’s quest to interpret and explain social life. In this ambitious book, Smith presents a new model for social theory that does justice to the best of our humanistic visions of people, life, and society. Finding much current thinking on personhood to be confusing or misleading, Smith finds inspiration in critical realism and personalism. Drawing on these ideas, he constructs a theory of personhood that forges a middle path between the extremes of positivist science and relativism. Smith then builds on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, Anthony Giddens, and William Sewell to demonstrate the importance of personhood to our understanding of social structures. From there he broadens his scope to consider how we can know what is good in personal and social life and what sociology can tell us about human rights and dignity. Innovative, critical, and constructive, What Is a Person? offers an inspiring vision of a social science committed to pursuing causal explanations, interpretive understanding, and general knowledge in the service of truth and the moral good.

Author: Nader Rafigh Publisher: Balboa Press ISBN: 198222231X Category : Self-Help Languages : en Pages : 939
Book Description
This highly engaging book and its enticing messages rouse us to commence the serious business of feeding our minds. Claiming to be knowledgeable, not needing to learn more, can only unmask our impudence. Such disclosure reveals a poverty-stricken philosophy and “poor thinking habits”, to borrow Earl Shoaff’s wise term, characterizing our ignorance and disregard. This dream-thief keeps non-thinking individuals impoverished all throughout their lives. The wisdom in Shoaff’s words revolutionized many lives, including mentors such as Jim Rhone and Tony Robbins, and indeed inspired many powerful messages in Wake -Up & Dream. This inclusive volume by Nader Rafigh captures many compelling principles of self-development & personal growth to instill in us strong habits of mind to purposefully soar in higher thinking and greater learning. All to uplift and educate us, so we can proudly claim to be awakened, and awakened we better stay to dream!
